May Spring Bring…Good Times and Great Fun!
May 6, 2011 by Katy Duggan · Leave a Comment
Happy May to everyone! While the official start of summer doesn’t begin until late June, it’s already starting to warm up here in Austin. So grab your family (and some water!) and take advantages of all the great events happening this month. From music, art/exhibits, sports and everything else, we’ve got you covered. Let us know in the comments section which events you will be attending. I will be racing up the Frost Tower for the Fight For Air Climb and would love to see you there! Also, we’d LOVE to post your photos, please send them to Katy@WestAustin.com. Enjoy!
